At the University of Alabama, several trees offer more than shade; they offer a story. Dating back to before the University’s inception in 1831, the dedicated trees on campus tell varied stories of heroism and integrity.

Generally, under the sponsorship of familial or organizational connections, trees in certain areas of campus are memorials to the lives of those lost. Although the exact number of all previously dedicated trees is uncertain, a recent survey conducted by the University of Alabama Facilities and Grounds Operation sought to define the history surrounding the trees with greater clarity.

And I'm serious.  Chainsaw them to the ground. Every one of them.

5 bucks says they poison their own trees and claim it's Auburn people to blame.  Then they claim this was worse because they're memorial trees and not toilet paper trees.

Most of the Bama fans that I've met that are crazy enough to try this aren't smart enough to think of it.

Wonder how long it will take to define the history surrounding the trees with greater clarity?

Yup, cut them down...they're just trees.

This is another example of uat trying hard to copy other Universities. Tiger Walk? We started the Champion Walk 100 years ago. Dedicated trees? We had dedicated trees 100 years ago. On probation? We've been on probation for 100 years (we backdated all of our C&D letters).
